A CHARITY festival is set to take place in Sturminster Newton next month.

Riverside Fest is set to run at Riverside Meadows, off the A357, on August 16.

The event will raise money for Children’s Cancer UK, The Vale Pantry and the Big Yellow Bus Garden Project.

Organisers promise something for everyone at the event, including music from the likes of Sugar Rush, The Twerzels, The Country Strong Band and Night Mode, as well as a free circus workshop, a fire show, dog show and a tug-o-war.

Visitors to the festival – which runs from noon until 11pm – can also enjoy a bar, ice cream and a raft of stalls, as well as classic car displays and a bouncy fun run.
